You're missing how it works; you ask for a Coke, the server says what kind, and you say Sprite.

This year is currently at 1.4c; the last 3 months, generally the coolest months, have been near 1.7c.

Creating division is why forbes wrote an article.

In mid-May 2023, the home of one of Kolektiva.social's admins was raided, and all their electronics were seized by the FBI. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest. Kolektiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation. Today, that admin was charged in relation to their alleged participation in this protest.

Non-competes are illegal in California. Which they should be.

Sort of, but also, Christianity is a death cult that enables child molesters and promotes hate, so there is not much room for subtly. It is also profoundly lacking in any basis of reality and frankly teaches deranged ideas that harm children's ability to make rational judgments about reality.

Also a church is the worst kind of echo chamber.

It says that no matter how horrible an act of war it cannot serve as justification for genocide. Can you detail how that's cringe?

There were/are a lot of olds. They have dominated politics for a long time and have also not died due to being the first people to take advantage of modern medicine.

Trump isn't symmetric; he has no concept of others' minds. His only ideas are about how he has what he wants. Calling for them in jail gets people to like him and gets his opponents out of the way. He isn't confused bc he doesn't care about correctness; any sense of misunderstanding is bc others are attacking him.

Let's see a US sponsored UN resolution.

Isn't taking corporate money and extracting it into a public good a positive?

Its going to happen to crops first, and obviously then famine.

The stock market is untether from reality to being with.

Mitigation is a spectrum not a binary outcome. Anyone arguing to not try does not understand the problem or is being dishonest.

So odd how dems always fumble it away.

Going by yourself under at least 13 is nonexistent in the United States.

The other 25% are old.

Well that is disappointing.

Greg wants to get paid, remove the threat of poverty from the loss of control and its a nonissue.

Is it protecting children? Claims need evidence and rules need tests. Until we do that its fear-based, exploitable control for the sake of control.

That dry lake bed is like powdered mud, it's so fine that any water instantly makes mud.

Literally the whole point is to sustain insanity until they purge the rest of us.

The trend shows identification to either label is falling. Really reads as a way to spin what is likely a move even more left by many high schoolers as a move right by pretending no other axis exist than conservative/liberal. Only 35% said either label. The overwhelming majority didnt pick a label.

Magic numbers go up!

They are both systemic issues, and ranking them by "bad" is not particularly important. Ranking them by changeable is. Which is to say, either promote acceleration or term limits.

The income cap is theft from all the rest of us.

UTC doesn't become wrong, you can either just accept a different pace of the clock, i.e. earth ppl will be ever so late to a meeting or it's just a different kind of timezone conversion. Better would be to have a single time based on the reference frame of the center of the galaxy and everyone keep there time relative to that.

To prove yourself as a executive you have to make the company do stuff, so people come up with reasons to do wasteful things. It's all a circle of shit people being shitty to get ahead.

Seems like a real risk for the introduction of prion diseases.

The story of the 737 MAX is corporate greed. It's just by Boening, not the operator. However, the operators heavily influence the choices by Boening.

They deserve double money

But the origin isn't gone nor forgotten, this post is saying exactly that.

Being exploded, your nerves can't act fast enough to notice. A high explosive attached to your head would be painless.

Everyone should have ownership of their home. I do not know the mechanism for how to transition from rent to ownership, but its the only ethical, economical way.

For the very rich, its extremely hard to know what they own, filing taxes allows them to hide all the details.

They tend to correlate but a virus can easily be both deadly and transmissive. R value is really the only thing to watch here, until a large population is sick we don't really know the impact anyways.
